rounded end portions 35.' Arran ed within the mouth 33 are longitudinalgulde ribs 36 surface over which the device is passed.

When the carpet or covering has along nap the blade 37 is adjustedoutwardl a distance sufficient to cause it to eiiective y scrape oragitate the nap and thereby loosen the dust so that the latter will .bediawniinto the nozzle or head by suction. The blade 37 is adjusted bmeans of twol screws 38 arranged in threa ed openings formed inlateraloset portions of the en ds 35 and having their inner ends swiveled inyokes 39 pivoted to the ends of the blade. The outer ends of said screwsare provided with notched heads or finger pieces by means of which theymay be readily turned yto adjust the blade.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed is:

A suction nozzle comprising a body having an open endv or mouth providedwith guides, `a blade slidable in said guides, and a pair of screwsarranged in the opposite sides of the nozzle and having their inner endsswiveled to said blade and their outer ends provided with operatingheads. o
